Question

Uniforms are sold in packages of 4. The skating rink's 182 employees will

each be given 3 uniforms. How many packages will the skating rink need
to order?

Answer 1

Answer: 136.5

Explanation:

182 x 3 = 546

546/4 = 136.5

You will have 137 packages with 2 uniforms left over.

Answer 2

137

Explanation:

182 employees x 3 uniforms = 546 uniforms needed

546/4 = 136.5

You can't buy a partial package, so you have to buy 137 packages. You'll have 2 extra uniforms.
